Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) CEO, Ratish Nanda, says that the idea for Sunder Nursey was to develop a high-quality space in the significant cultural landscape where citizens can mingle without the social barriers of religion, caste and class. It is a beautiful example of ecological conservation as well. The grand 90-acre Sunder Nursery features nursery beds, a flower showcase, arboretum and a microhabitat zone, and is a refreshing relief from the pollution and traffic that mars Delhi otherwise. Till date, the park boasts of about 280 native tree species, 80 bird species and 36 butterfly species. The Nursery, which hosts rich biodiversity in terms of flora and fauna, is also a learning centre. Madhav, a class 8th student currently studying crops in his science class, shared that he and his classmates are lucky to see live specimens of crops and vegetation in one area, a privilege his parents did not have while growing up.
